Your Family Doctor: You should consult your family doctor. If you don't have one,then go to a clinic. Horse flies bite will not cause Lyme Didease. But you can be checked by physical exam and blood test

Infectious disease: Lyme disease is handled mostly by infectious disease specialists who are usually trained in internal medicine. The best have spent some time at the CDC in Atlanta. Such a doctor can explore your symptoms with you and get a blood test for Lyme disease.
